Two days before signing day, Ole Miss added another piece to its recruiting class in Oak Grove quarterback John Rhys Plumlee.

In a message posted on his Twitter account, Plumlee announced he would sign with the Rebels, saying he believed God had called him "to serve" in Oxford. Plumlee, a four-star recruit, will complete the paperwork Wednesday morning.

Plumlee, a Dandy Dozen selection in baseball and football, accounted for 4,278 total yards and 52 touchdowns last season. He led Oak Grove to the MHSAA 6A title game, where Plumlee threw four touchdowns and 348 yards in a four-point loss.

Over the summer, Plumlee verbally committed to play football and baseball at Georgia. He planned to sign in December during the early signing period. But before signing day, Georgia told Plumlee it needed to offer him a blueshirt. The Bulldogs were running out of scholarships, and, Plumlee's father Denton said, they knew backup quarterback Justin Fields intended to transfer.

Georgia coach Kirby Smart told Plumlee he didn’t want to go through spring practice with one scholarship quarterback. Georgia had wanted Plumlee to enroll early, solving that problem, but Plumlee started the process too late and wanted to play his final season of high school baseball.

The blueshirt required Plumlee to come in August so his scholarship counted toward next year’s class. He could move in the summer with the rest of the freshmen, but he had to pay for himself. He couldn’t take an official visit. Georgia could only contact him over the phone.

“Not something I wanted to hear at the time,” Plumlee said.

Plumlee remained verbally committed to Georgia, but he reopened his recruitment. And during the early signing period, Georgia brought in two quarterbacks who enrolled early.

Plumlee's recruitment intensified over the last month. He spent four straight weekends on official visits to Mississippi State, Auburn, Ole Miss and, a few days ago, FSU. Plumlee leaned toward Ole Miss after his official visit, but he said he went to FSU with "an open mind."

By Monday night, he had decided to commit to Ole Miss and new offensive coordinator Rich Rodriguez.

"I think I’m a good fit for what he does," Plumlee said.

Throughout most of Plumlee's recruitment, Ole Miss looked at him as a slot receiver and defensive back. He said former offensive coordinator Phil Longo wanted quarterbacks with a more prototypical build. (Plumlee is 6-foot-1 and 185 pounds.) After Longo left for North Carolina and Plumlee reopened his recruitment, Ole Miss approached him as a quarterback.

Now that Plumlee's college recruitment has ended, MLB scouts will watch him during his senior baseball season. If he gets drafted, Plumlee will consider playing professional baseball. If he doesn't, he will play both sports at Ole Miss.
